Chapter 534: Fear of the Unknown (2/2)

Many came to the street to examine the damage done to the road and the buildings, but what they saw did not help them understand anything. Instead, it just made them even more nervous.

It did not take long before the news reached the branch leader, and he could not help but raise an eyebrow in surprise. He had never guessed that the little thing on Xue Wei's shoulder would be so powerful.

While the rest of the city was feeling extremely fearful, the branch leader was instead excited. He knew that this duo would be his last hope, so he wanted to cling to it with all his might.

It was not only the branch leader who learned of the episode, the ghost leaders, who had sent out the ones that had been tasked with capturing Xue Wei, also got knowledge of the encounter not long after it had passed.

At first, they were extremely unhappy with the fact that their hired help had fled the scene, but as the explanation became more detailed, their hearts quivered in discomfort.

They did not doubt that this was a robot that had been created by Xue Wei. This robot was most likely going to be sold to the Whispering Oak Inn, as he had brought it to the branch leader.

Thinking that the branch leader would get his hands on such a powerful robot, they felt their hearts shiver. They could not imagine the damage it would bring to them, as they were currently able to balance the power in the regional capital. Still, with the aid of such a robot, the branch leader would naturally be able to gain the upper hand.

The group of ghosts was shaken to their core, and they did not know how to move forward. They had fallen into a passive position, and did not know how to advance.

Should they gather their forces and fight against the branch leader? Doing so would harm them deeply, as they knew that the branch leader would not give up.

Should they wait and see? If they did this, they were convinced that one day they would not wake up, as the branch leader would act on them.

Their final option would be to flee the city, much like their hired help had done, but this was also a result they were unwilling to see.

Being uncertain on how to advance made the three ghosts uncomfortable. They had to consider their options well before acting, but they could not spend too much time dwelling on it, as they might end up dead if they did.

Xue Wei and Lan were also very well aware that their appearance today had caused some chaos to emerge in the regional capital, but as to the level of danger that would bring them, they were still not aware.
